Hi community,
I had AABA shares and received cash liquidation reported in 2019 1099-DIV box 9. Based on the relevant threads here, this cash liquidation is partial as there will be distributions in 2nd half of 2020 and 2022. I also sold all AABA shares before it went off the market. I am curious how I should report the capital gains in my tax return.
To simplify, let's assume the following for discussions:
1. My cost basis is $70. The shares were acquired on 2/10/2012.
2. Cash liquidation distribution is $200 (box 9 in 1099-DIV). Liquidation date was 9/26/2019.
3. I sold all shares on 10/1/2019. Sell price is $50.
For my tax return this year:
1. I fully recovered my basis from the liquidation distribution, thus I need to report $130 ($200 - $70) as long-term capital gain.
2. My adjusted cost basis is becoming $0 because it's fully recovered
3. I also need to report $50 ($50 - $0) as long-term capital gain from stock sells
4. Together, I have $180 ($130 + $50) for long-term capital gain
5. Since I sold all my shares, is the liquidation I received last year is considered final? Will I get more distributions in the future (H2 2020, 2022)?
Please let me know if my understanding is correct, thanks!
